Tired of copy-cut-paste holidays that feel the same, from one island to the other? Veranda Resorts invites you to take the roads least travelled to discover Mauritius. Feel Mauritius, Feel Mauritian is our call to enjoy our unique islander lifestyle through an immersive sensory experience.
Get to know the history of Mauritius
Live and taste our island’s rich past, enticed by the sweetest fragrance of all. Your holidays will take you on a tour of l’Aventure du Sucre, an iconic museum which tells the story of the Mauritian sugarcane industry in a fun way, with interactive tools. This visit is the perfect occasion to sample various types of sugar, but also delicious traditional treats such as our famous banana pie and Napolitaines.
Adult palates will also travel even further thanks to the wafting aroma of prime agricultural rum, as they tour the domaine’s distillery for an unforgettable tasting experience. Back at the hotel, the international award-winning distillery’s rums await… And there are many ways to enjoy them. From mixology classes to rum arrangé workshops to bring home a piece of Mauritian know-how, there are options for every taste.
Island flavours are best enjoyed in a traditional feast
There is no such thing as “just barbecue” in Mauritius. A grilled meal is the opportunity to party al fresco. Every week, we invite you on the beach at sundown to partake in this welcoming tradition. The celebration starts with a sunset aperitive… And when the night falls, the bonfire calls. Delicious meats sizzle and the Sega band sets the tone, so that there is no other choice but to get up and dance!
A typical Mauritian day
This day of island Dolce Vita invites you to connect with the Mauritian culture to the upbeat rhythm of local music, with a buffet of deliciously authentic cuisine.
This slow-paced day is the perfect opportunity to discover a book by a Mauritian author at our library, discover our Koz Kreol workshop and learn a few words of our melodious native language, or even discover and learn how to play the Ravanne, a Mauritian percussion. You will also get to meet talented Mauritian craftsmen who will show you their creations.
Sea you on the other side
Embrace the life of a Zanfan lakot (a child of the coastal region). Make the most of our beachfront hotels and the seaside joy they bring, with your hair sporting natural beach waves filled with tiny crystals of salt and sun-kissed, glowy skin. Adventurers will enjoy exploring the lagoon by snorkeling or during a traditional fishing expedition at dawn. Lovers of farniente will take to the sea to enjoy an aperitive whilst gliding on the lagoon at sunset… But always on board a pirogue, the traditional fishing boats used by generations of fishermen for centuries.
More sides of our island you can discover in all our small boutique-hotels. These experiences are also completed with unique experiences (one per hotel) inspired by the unique assets of their respective regions.
And here you are, at the close of an authentic, stunning holiday, a Mauritian at heart.
